Re: Devestating Turn of Events in my life!

Michele,

I would like to echo what this other MGBer just said. Do fight for your

rights. When I divorced my husband he never paid the court-ordered child

support

or put the money he was ordered to set aside in a special account to pay for

my daughters' education. I did what I thought was take the high road and

didn't pursue him. I built up a good career through the years and was able to

take

care of my daughters myself and felt I was a good role model for them.

Imagine my surprise when as an adult my older daughter told me she had always

been angry about my not making her father pay what he was supposed to and

considered me a wimp. So before the situation gets out of hand, I just want to

tell you that you should insist on adequate support and sharing of expenses,

including education. You and your children will be better off if both of you

play fair.

Dear Chels,

Just think of it as a couple hundred additional pounds of ugly fat

you are losing.
